Centipede tube

After several attempts at ballancing the red and green guns just about pass


Centipede less broken.

Funny how the monitor works alot better with the anode connected :) However the tube is on its last legs (2 minutes to warm up enough for a picture) and the vertical sync is miles out. Lets see if we can improve anything


Centipede monitor

It is now quite clear why the centipede monitor was making very strange noises. Can anyone else see what is wrong in this picture? LOL


Success

I had to spend about half an hour repeatedly performing the Clean and Ballance operation, but looks like it has paid off


Bad tube

Looks like the electron guns need a little work


Discharging

The chequered flag monitor has lots of colour bleed, so time to work on the monitor and see if we can fix it

It is safe to say that the monitor is very ill


Return of the Jedi fail

Having my first game on this machine in a year and the pcb craps out on me :(

Getting there.....


Reshuffle

Major game of real life tetris going on. The problem with having too many machines is that moving 1 machine involves moving 5 others
